Craniosacral Therapy Practitioners: Jacquee Davey The Benefits Craniosacral therapy can be beneficial for almost any condition because it stimulates the body's own healing potential. The therapy is so gentle and safe that it is suitable for all ages and for fragile and acutely painful conditions. Treatment helps eliminate symptoms and their under lying causes. How it works In response to physical knocks and emotional stresses, body tissues contract. Occasionally when the shock is severe or occurs with an emotional situation, body tissues stay contracted. Stresses, tensions and traumas that are stored in this way will restrict the bodies functioning and may give rise to problems over time. The effects may be expressed both physically (migraines, back pain or digestive disorders) and emotionally (depression or anxiety). The craniosacral rhythm At the core of the body, cerebrospinal fluid bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord. It expresses a tide-like motion known as the craniosacral rhythm. Restrictions in the body's functioning show up in the way that the craniosacral motion is expressed. How craniosacral therapy is practised: Craniosacral therapists are trained to feel this subtle motion in the body and can use it to identify the possible origin of a problem. Using the hands to reflect back to the body the pattern that it is holding, the therapist provides an opportunity for the body to let go of its restrictive patterns and return to a balanced and healthier state of being.
